Regarding with his new profession, on the TwoPlusTwo, members like “PADRE24” says, “Congrats to Jeff! He did a great job and will be a good rep for bull riding. I wonder if he has to wear a cowboy hat now?” on the other hand, “Eponymous” teased, “He probably just wants to meet Jewel, who is married to one of the PBR founders.”
